Strike force – ‘en route’
Spitfire Mk VIII, as operated by 145 Sqdn in Italy in 1944 mainly in the ground attack role. Now restored to full flying capability she is a regular attendee at European airshows and is maintained and flown by German ground crew and pilots - a touch of irony there!
Shown here ‘en route’ to the target area in the heavy cloud and wintry sun typical of the Italian campaign in 1944.
